Finding my true love on a journey.[ThorinxOcxLegolas]

Chapter 11

Looking at everyone I saw hopeful smiles, but it was ruined by the sounds of Warg howls, and shouts in black speech. "out of the frying pan." Thorin said "and into the fire. Run, Run!" Gandalf finished, everyone turned and ran away from the howls, as everyone ran a Warg cut Bilbo off from everyone else I was the closest so I drew my sword and just as the animal jumped I pushed Bilbo out of the way and I crashed to the ground with my sword hilt deep in the chest of a Warg scout. Three more Wargs ran out after then dwarves but I couldn't move being stuck under a Warg and all, pulling out my sword I tried to squirm my way out from under the heavy beast.

But when I pushed pain shot down my shoulder and into my chest. "someone help! I'm still stuck under the Warg over here." Bilbo and Thorin pushed the beast off of me and Gandalf shouted "up into the trees, all of you! Come on, climb! Bilbo, Aaralyn! Climb" following Thorin I gave him a Bilbo a boost into a big strong tree, then moving back I ran up into the tree. That's when the Wargs came they jumped at the trees forcing the dwarves up higher to avoid being pulled down. Clasping my hands together I prayed to the Vala, for help. That's when I saw him, Azog the defiler.

He saw Thorin and spoke to him in black speech, having learned it in Mirkwood I knew what he was saying, "do you smell it? the scent of fear? I remember your father reeking of it, Thorin son of Thrain." Standing on a branch under Thorin I quickly climbed up to stand in front of him so that he wouldn't have to look at that murderer. He closed his eyes and shook his head softly, "it cannot be." Pulling his head to my chest I turned and looked at the beast, he sat up and took a sharp intake of breath, "those two are mine, kill the others!" he shouted swinging his mace over his head.

As a Warg jumped up our tree it shook and I almost lost my footing if it hadn't been for Thorin holding my waist. The Wargs ripped off the lower branches of all the trees the dwarves were in, I looked back at Azog, he smiled "drink their blood!" soon our tree couldn't stay upright and was crashing into the next tree "quick climb into the next tree!" I shouted and they did it. as each tree crashed the dwarves switched to the next tree and the next, soon we were all in the tree that was at the edge of the cliff.

Looking around for something to help I found pine cones, quickly using a fire spell I lit the cone on fire, once it was alight I threw it at the Wargs, remembering that their coats catch fire as quickly as oil soaked wood does. When Gandalf saw he started to do the same thing handing the others pine cone to light and throw, lighting one he call out to the dwarf under him "Fili!" once Fili had it he tossed in from hand to hand before throwing it, soon everything pointed away from our tree was on fire.

Though with all our throwing and cheering the tree was starting to come out of the ground. Quickly we grabbed onto the closest thing or person to keep from falling or vice versa. Suddenly Ori fell out but quickly grabbed Dori by the foot. And it looked like they weren't going to last long, "Mr. Gandalf, Lady Aaralyn!" I tried to reach but they were too far for me, just as Dori let go Gandalf stuck out his staff and Dori grabbed on, I sighed a breath of relief, but I knew it wouldn't last. Not knowing what Thorin was think I moved to help anyone else that was half dangling from the tree branches.

I was helping Kili, when Dwalin shouted for Thorin to stop, pulling Kili up I stood on the trunk of the tree and watched as Thorin ran at the White Warg and his pale rider. When he was five feet from Azog the Warg jumped and knocked Thorin over, I started to run to him but Fili's cry for help stopped me, he was slipping and I made a mad grab for him catching him around the bicep. And pulling him up far enough so that I could go and help Thorin. I stood up in time to see Azog hit Thorin with his mace, I screamed his name and started towards Thorin, but it felt as though I was moving through water, still moving as fast as I could while avoiding the fire the White Warg grabbed Thorin in his mouth and bit down, Thorin's cry of pain made me stop, my hand to my mouth. While the beast open and closed his teeth on Thorin I turned my hateful gaze to the monster in the saddle.
